Lyrics:
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two, of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Hey now (wow) look at that did he nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive you make me feel
Alive, alive, alive
I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side
I tell you something I know what you're thinking
I tell you something I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo - Видеоклипы
Was praying for a daughter and got confirmed today, was driving home with the wife and this song came on, we will be naming her Rio ❤
Awwwww!!!!
CONGRATS! RIO IS A BEAUTIFUL NAME!
Ohhhh! Río , Río....
❤❤
Congrats!! That’s an awesome choice for a name
Congrats to Duran Duran on being part of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2022! So very well deserved.
They fully deserve it 100000000%
and overdue
Fosho.....
@@davidschlessinger9945 For sure. Phenomenal band. Absolutely professional and the vanguards of their time.
One of my favourite bands of the 80s so well deserved ... class
John Taylor is a sick bassist. The bass line in this song is just masterful.
he s cute extremely attractive all of em r❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He added a fusion jazz line to the song...😮😮
GODLIKE. AND VERY UNDERRATED TOO.
I pray he finds the cure. 🤣🤣
Yes, the bass line is maaad!
So glad I grew up in this Era of music. The 80's was the best.
Hell yes it was ✊️😃💯
so true
You could name hundreds of singers and bands.. you’re lucky to name 30 or more nowadays if that
So much great music!
Synth pop, New Wave, New Romantics, ska, alternative, second British Invasion, NWOBHM, house, techno, industrial, goth, post-punk, power pop, jangle pop, Hi-NRG, Hip Hop, Rap, free style, New Jack Swing, college rock, Prince’s Minneapolis Sound, all happening for the first time in the eighties-the most creative and diverse musical decade of the rock era that will never be surpassed. Wouldn’t trade anything for being a teenager witnessing and discovering all that-if I only knew how lucky I was at the time.
John Taylor, maybe the most underrated bassist of all time.
He never gets enough credits as he deserve, even as the founder of duran
No doubt.
Hes anytime but underatted hes a god
The bass on this song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes. As a fan of Rush and Iron Maiden, I am very partial to songs and groups that don't bury the bass. A shame that I didn't appreciate this very much back in the day, but I got better!
Insane bass line and a ridiculous sax solo.
How could you not love this?
Pure sex
I agree the saxophone was definitely smoking. It's so strange, I think in New Religion or one of their other songs, Duran Duran seems like they ate about to go into a JAZZsession, only to bring it back to Rock, Duran Duran Style.
I believe John was was inspired by Jaco at this time.
Straight jacket city
I'd be more likely to describe today's music as insane and ridiculous.
So much joy and energy. Nothing in modern music comes close.
Studying this for media gcse
Same 😂
same
Feeling so privileged to have been a teenager during the 80's. Those were the best times!
That makes two of us. Can you imagine being young and in the prime of your life in today's world? UUgggghh! I am so glad I was a teen in the 80s.
Oh hell yeah 👍🏻💯 I graduated in '82 and my first favorite band was Styx. I've been enjoying trips down memory lane, so MUCH great music from Led Zeppelin, Heart, AC⚡DC to Duran Duran, I wouldn't trade growing up when I did for anything. I lean towards metal but still love classic rock and the songs I grew up with.
Amen to that great times
I was 19 when this album came out. What a great time to be a young adult.
@@Libertygirl76 Best time ever
Everyone talks about the Bass line but no one talks about the Sax.. 10/10 saxophone
You are so right! The sax kills in this song!
Andy Hamilton is the sax player.
@@paultwiss199 Way to go Andy then
The bass in the sax part...
:-)
I was 17 in 1983, and Duran Duran was one of those moments when the music changed, and now it belonged to 'us,' our generation! Thanks Duran Duran for the music and memories!
I'm naming my baby boy 'Río' and I remembered this song.
Greetings from ARGENTINA.
These guys weren't just pretty boys. They could play the hell out of their instruments.
I am glad to hear a guy say this !!!
In the 80s we called them preps.
Yeah, that bass is pretty insane
John Taylor was only just 22 y/o at the time and he was already a massively gifted bass player.
@@ericzerkle5214 We also called them New Romantics.
I can't imagine what this song would be like without the bass playing; it really makes this song special. The bass playing is phenomenal! 👍
I agree. It's the reason that this song has bedrock in my mind.
Not easy to play! Several underrated.
It's the bass that lift it to another level. The song would have been a so-so.
Dont forget sax now that is pretty bad ass to..
@@werearethedreamteam3724 Without a doubt. Absolutely. The sax is indeed killer. 😃
You know it's a 80s banger when they throw in a sax🎉
Ps this video has no logic but totally works
@@josswhelan293❤
That sax is no joke
@@werearethedreamteam3724 Sax on the beach baby.
No it was the 50s.... 80s were all about keyboards
40 years later all these DD songs still sounds fantastic
Aaabsolutely
The crew had a fire extinguisher on stand by afterwards for the bass players fingers.
John is surely on 🔥
John Taylor has got to be the most underrated bass player in history. Brilliant bass lines in many of his songs. What he has done here in this song is called ghost notes. Very difficult to do, and brilliantly executed.
Exactly. Every single line and riff on Rio as a whole is clean and has a punch to it. He plays a lot of riffs, what you would think Andy Taylor would play. The guy seriously knows what he is doing.
yeah great musician and every girl I know thinks he was the best looking guy ever. ( im jealous )
Totally agreed, man this dude recorded this one when he was 22 years old!!! Amazing
CABLE GUY!!!!.😂 LOVE THIS SONG LOVE THIS BAND.
Just read his Autobiography,it’s a good read
JT is thumping, popping, groaning his bass. Stopping, sliding, holding up the melody even. And the mix between him and that ass blasting SAX. This Duran piece is GOLD.
You make it soundd even sexier, kudos. 😘
I'm reading John Taylor's book right now. The only thing I'm disappointed about is his failure to mention that he's a completely kick-ass bassist.
This bass line is amazing, I love playing along to it, it took me a long time to get it down!
1985
That is art I love it
The bass in this song blows my mind! He's absolutely fantastic! What a great, technical groove he's laying down!
Really all of their shit bro,that’s why I always loved them being black and loving funk.
its a great bass line! The bridge is my favorite part
Yes very technical, even has ghosts notes..
Fucking bassline on this song!!!
Thats a geddy lee bass line for sure.
Yeah, amazing!
Someday, If I ever got to meet JT, I would ask him to teach me how to play that.
If I could speak, that is.
the entire album has some sick bass lines...JT is the reason I play!
@@resa.walters There you have it ;) ruclips.net/video/mtcLKAGN-II/видео.html&ab_channel=DuranDuran
acknowledge the drummer as well! Probably one of duran duran's greats in terms of musicality
In the time before boy bands became just dancers singing songs. Duran Duran
wrote great songs and could really play!!
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines, she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio, dance across the Rio Grande
The 1980s The Best Decade of Music, Man This Song is Great
5/19/2024
One of the sickest bass lines ever written in my opinion... I know a lot of true musicians can really appreciate the complexity of this KICK ASS BASS LINE!!!! DURAN DURAN IS THE BEST 80’s GROUP EVER!!!!
U2 and Depeche Mode do exist too.
@@sevenfootball7tv998 Depeche Mode is definitly the best for me.
as a musician i can say yes, this is a great bass line. although it is not as complex as it sounds. the rhythms make it sound more complicated.
Queen o they started in 70) but u2, Van Halen, many many more, but I do love DD too
Best bass? Did you ever hear "Pulling Teeth" Cliff Burton? or Anything from Getty Lee, or Les Claypool ? Like the song, not EVEN close to the greats though!
This bassline is _immaculate_ even by Duran Duran standards.
Ridiculous bass line. Jt so overlooked
I see what you did there...
It's *immaculate* like a dream
@@michaelfrazia4569 Don't Hear The Bass Nerd
@@WSPROJECT08 not quite sure what you mean . It makes absolutely no sense so I'm assuming it was written wrong.
Hello fellow member of the brigade✌️🏳️⚧️
This song made me move to Brazil and I am about to marry a Carioca. Our apartment cost $150 a month...in a small town north of Rio De Janerio in the state of Rio De Janeiro. She's a looker and has a huge heart. I am a lucky man. Thanks Duran Duran.
Simon has a better voice than he is thought to have not just an 80's legend but good voice too.
nah
That bass line gets me everytime!
fuck off
You get me every time as well
As a bassist myself. John Taylor so underrated as a bassist. This man rocked that bass. Just listen to his speed and precision. He had once stated that he admired Bernard Edward the late bassist for the group Chic one was in a class all by himself. This' one of my favorite Duran songs from that era.
His basslines are incredible
it also sounds like these guys are ROXY MUSIC.....meets.....YES!!
(Chris Squire will always be the god of busy bass!)
the bass line here was written by mick karn of the band " japan "...this is why it's sound so cool
@@cammefantaman WHAT??? Tell me more! Is this true? Cuz all the credits are to the DD lineup.
@@jonbongjovi1869 mick was friend of duran duran, the bassist can't do a line good enough. mick show him his idea for the song, it works so well that they use it
Everybody talking about the bass line... behold that furious sax please!!!!!
Taylor did a 7 minute tutorial on his bass here. He pays homage to that sax, says the note at the end takes it to another level. He wrote the third part to drive the song based on that, brought in an R & B hard four count. He knows they all brought their best on this song.
@@terryhancockroc6560 Nice to know, thank you!
This iconic music video surely gives 80s retro vibes . The 80s will forever be the best music decade!😁😁
Hell yeah the 80's we're the best!!!!
I concur
Completely agree there …..👍🏻🙏
And that, my friends, is a bass line.
agreed buddy.
And you, my friend, are right. :)
Ville Hardén Right on!!! He’s so underrated😤
There's really not much else going on, just static synth and sparse rhythm guitar.
@@k_zildjian4460 - Try listening to the song again.
I want to permanently live in this music video.
Wish granted person man
Five hundred or a thousand years from now youd probably be able to, literally.
Actually their Girls On Film music video would be even better!
Minus the sumo wrestler, ha haa haaa!
And I live there with you LOL
me too for a long while now lol
Totally
I love the sax in this song. Love the song anyway…this song was popular in my late teens.
As a metal fan I have to say JTs bass is right up there with anyone I listen to. Been watching his RUclips bass tutorials-absolutely excellent. Blokes a genius!
Thanks for teaching me some real facts not just gossip. ❤ ta. I'm a total metal head too but sometimes we have to make exceptions. Do you like soulfly "shutdafukup" give it a go. Or pantera "walk". Great song but they were white supremacists so I hate racism and keep them to myself except for in the car so loud I've forgotten people's reaction, it's for me not them
I'm totally a metal head but i love a trip down memory lane back to the 80's when I was in HS. Good times, great music. 😊
I'm a metal head to love this song.pantera where white supremacist ???they weren't stop looking into everything.
THIS VIDEO ENCOMPASSES THE 80'S!!! So much color , crazy fashions and such original sounds. I truly believe I grew up in a time full of originality. LOVE BRITISH POP!!!
I totally agree! 80's vibes are strong in this one
And budgie smugglers
i would say the best pure 80's video
txarly2008 creative an original!
The First Music Video Absolutely MODERN.
When Duran Duran Conquered the World as The Kings of New Wave.
Thanks, Russel Mulcalhy. You created this Masterpiece and made the REVOLUTION.
Craziest bass line ever.
Unlike you
Yeah. 2:40 min
Duran Duran posters all over my wall growing up. Roger is one of the best drummers ever, John Taylor kills it as a bassist. The whole band is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! they are so amazing that my 24 year old son loves them... ❤❤❤❤
Duran Duran kicks ass! And this is coming from a metal head
The sound, the colors, the images and that wink at 4:20. That's the 80s
YES!!!!!!!!
When I was a teenager in the 80’s I was really into metal and played drums in metal bands. But secretly I played this album over and over because of John and Andy Taylor. Incredible musicians. Also a lot of Police too. What a great time in music.
Same here. I was always pure metal but liked early DD a lot. Energetic and full force... like metal.
As you get older you really stop giving a fuck about image and start just doing what you do.
I've started putting together a playlist called The Best Decade Of Music. It's only got 4 songs including this one right now, but it's a work in progress. If you have suggestions feel free.

John Taylor is killing it! Damn that bassline is badass!
who wouldn't bow and worship this woman?

Exactly!!!!
I dont know how it is possible to create a genial bassline like this one... John Taylor is a LEGEND
Bass line is amazing
Yes! The absolute best!
They were the bomb
These young men were 20, 21, and 22 years old when they recorded this.
Their first 2 albums, Duran Duran and Rio, came out in 1981 and 1982.
They were all born in 1960, '61, and '62.
Damn good musicians and songwriters!
Simon would’ve been 24, he was born in 1958
@@stephaniespragg5586
In 1981 he would've been 22 until late October when he turned 23. He is the oldest.
So for Rio he would've just turned 23, and for their first album in 1981 he was 22.
It's amazing how good they were for so young. That was my point.
I love people who know what and how, your a real fan not just someone who knows 2 songs and nothing else so ta for teaching me facts that I love to know ❤ta.
Did they really do their own songs and so young. I love to learn and have a stranger teach me facts. I thank you stranger for the knowledge ❤ ta
Don't know why weirdos like you mention how old they are. Many people are in their early 20's when they make music.
Did anyone else in the 80s feel like, "Wow, we are living the best decade ever"?? I did!
Hated the 80s. Hated thatcher
I'm not sure i realized it at time but I knew I was having a great time. Now here it is 2023 and I know those 80's were a great time to be a teenager and to just be alive.
No not really , I grew up in a single parent household . I had Maggie take one of my favourite things away . Although that aside my life’s dream of being a coal miner was stolen away from me ( chosen due to my love of pasties? ) But seriously why would we have thought that without knowing what was coming
The early 80s weren't so good. I mostly remember people whinging about 'Fatcher' (some still do) and the endless miners' strike. There seemed to be an IRA bomb going off somewhere every other day as well. Mid to late 80s were better socially I think, although the music went downhill after Stock Aitken and Waterman took over around 1986.
@@Londonfogeywow that’s a shame. The USA was the place to be
This song has to be in the top 10 of best songs of the 80's hands down.
By the way, one of the greatest baselines of all time.
AMAZING FACTS:
In 1982, the British media dubbed Duran Duran the "Fab Five" because teen girls had not been so enthusiastic about.a band since the Beatles.
The band was the most played on MTV from 1982 to 1984.
They were the first major MTV artist to use 35MM film and professional directors for their videos.
The group was formed in 1978 by 17-year-old John Taylor and 15-year-old Nick Rhodes. LeBon joined in 1980.
Three of the bandmates met as workers in a bar. The entire band ended up performing there, where they were discovered.
The band was Princess Diana's favorite.
All of the band's members were straight, unlike the majority of other 1980's male pop stars.
Three of the band's members had the same last name despite not being related to one another.
The bandmates entered their own lookalike contests and actually lost once.
Nick Rhodes scored 780 on his math SAT's.
The three Taylors have worked as studio musicians for major artists such as Madonna and Stevie Wonder.
Most of the band's hits were written as poems by Simon LeBon at age 16 to 17.
The bandmates performed their own stunts. While filming the video for "Save a Prayer" in Sri Lanka, Andy Taylor fell from a tree into a lake, swallowed some of the polluted water, and was hospitalized for an infection from it.
LeBon almost drowned while filming the video for "Wild Boys" but a navy diver saved his life. LeBon denies it but several witnesses say otherwise.
Starting at age six, the photogenic LeBon starred in several major television commercials.
Milton Bradley made a Duran Duran board game called "Arena", the name of the band's 1984 live album.
All band members except Nick Rhodes did not want to wear makeup and unisex clothes but their manager talked them into it.
LeBon was born in 1958, the same year as Prince, Michael Jackson, and Madonna.
LeBon almost drowned in a second incident but was again rescued by a navy diver after his yacht had capsized.
Thanks for share 🙏🏽
I never knew this thanks!!!
Great summary of interesting facts 🙏
Which one of them played for Madonna? I know Nick has not good things to say about her but I'd like to understand what happened previously.
the bass line ... bloody hell
AFWAN ,BLOODY HELL. MUCH BE BRITISH? THAT'S KOOL. MUCH LOVE FROM SOUTH TEXAS. BLOODY HELL. I'VE HEARD IT B/4. WAS DEPLOYED TO ENGLAND
"What we doing for my sax solo?"
"Putting you on a shitty raft"
"Wait what?"
😆 🤣
While John stands on top of a hill.
That's not actually the sax player on the raft. It's Nick Rhodes.
lmao...........too funny
🤣🤣🤣
I just turned 15, Rio plays every night as I go to bed in my bedroom, the CD slides in my brand new Kenwood CD player, Luxman amplifier, and some awesome 80's headsets. Time flies, but this masterpiece lasts a lifetime.
🫐 40 years ago? No... This song _can't_ be that old!
It still looks good for its age... *Sexy, exotic & brilliant!*
Undoubtedly one of the greatest pop songs created. Perfect in every way.
And its not even their best song, imo thats > is there something i should know.
LOL!
The video is perfect in every way also
so true it's catchy and brilliant
Their music, lyrics, videos, and fashion are timeless. Duran Duran embraces everything that was great about the 80’s.
No wonder the eighties were the eighties with this electric charged, powerful, energetic music! Makes you feel that you want to go, go, goooo! Boy did we have a good time, alot to do with great music like this..
Yes, well said, the 80s were like this!!!!
Tons of coke
There all underrated
Goddam that bassline, thems some busy fingers I tell you what
Is like the rest of the song is trying to catch up to it. Is awesome
if your listening in 2020, you have a good taste in music
Don't worry it sounds just as good in 2021 but the same shite still goes on in the world but worse
@@derp872 l
Oh you bet. I listened to this in high school back in 1984. Still sounds fantastic after all these years.
2021!!
or its a case study for media studies
I’m from the 80’s -90’s era and I love that my 12 year old daughter likes all my music from this era. Puts a smile on my face when I hear her playing 80’s music
A group of excellent musicians at the top of their game. This encapsulates the 80's perfectly. God it was great.
MTV was my home as kid and Duran Duran was the wallpaper. They were colorful, everywhere and made that home an appealing place to always be. 🖤 🥁 🎸 🎤 🎹 🎶 🎵
OMG I Would watch MTV all day and love it. I'd see Rio maybe 10 times a day along with lot's of Michael Jackson, the police and various other artists. MTV used to be awesome with just videos and the host's. I want to go back to the early 80's.
a huge part of early MTV
hi
Loved MTV back in the day. Duran Duran was my favorite band throughout high school and still today.
Bass God
The Ox never played in Duran Duran.

1982 damn I’m old 😅 I was 18 a metal head long hair band t shirts but this song lived rent free in my head because of John Taylor 😎
The end of the song is really awesome. It ends on such a high note of excitement and happiness. Like Life is fucking awesome and worth living.
After I got out of the army I fronted a bar band in the 80s in Las Vegas. The 'sexual revolition' from the 70s was finally maturing. 83-86 maybe..87 until AIDS scared he11 out of everyone was a friggin blast.
Human SVD it’s the best part of the song and that says a lot
This bass player is out of control!
Coming from my heart and my soul and from my deepest love for Duran Duran , and for my lips, Duran Duran is the best band that I have ever truly loved since the first time I heard them.
CONGRATULATIONS AND I'm so PROUD OF YOU DURAN DURAN FOR BEING INDUCTED IN THE RRHOF, FINALLY ,it was well way over due.
This song fueled my pre-high school experience and molded me into a forever fan of New Wave, I'll never let that go! The MTV era, tans, long hair, high school angst, melancholy, chasing beauty, and the wealth of music that came from it, a little brooding, absurd, dark, kooky, what a fun time! ...and I became a bassist, thanks John, your amazing!
The bass and sax together👍🏻🔥🔥
I recall the 80s, first time seeing this video on MTV, that is when they actually showed music videos and not the "junk" that they show today. It was amazing, already heard the song before, but just saw the video and had a visual with the sound for this song. Amazing, timeless and beautiful melody. They were and still are great. I jut turned 57 and love that music just as much.
I am 35 and I envy that you were alive and enjoyed the 80s. I was only born in it
Friday Night Video's introduced me to some great music. Take care everyone.
That my friends is a fat BASSLINE! and that Sax 🎷 pure electric!!
Luv that sax
👍🎷🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
That sax is sexy
One of the most iconic videos of the 80’s. It’s definitely stood the test of time-.
The First Music Video Absolutely COOL, MODERN and ICONIC.
When Duran Duran Conquered the World as The Kings of New Wave.
Thanks, Russel Mulcahy. You created this Masterpiece and made the REVOLUTION.
Just timeless pure class
Rio turns 40! This song and many of theirs has just aged beautifully with time. When I saw Duran Duran in concert in the 80s, everyone stood on their chairs and danced the entire time. Pure joy!
Just saw them last night and that's what I did!!! Not on the chair though, but standing!!
Dear God this music was good! The 80's.... I was in my 20's and it was a golden time to be alive :)
John Taylor's bass lines...one of the last times a pop band actually had serious chops.
I loved this song so much I wanted to name my daughter ‘Rio’
Didn’t of course but when I told her she said ‘thank you Mom’ 😊
I think Rio would be an amazing name! I mean, you just know someone named “Rio” would be super cool, right? Plus you’d have a killer Duran Duran track for a theme song. That’s way more awesome than having Michael Jackson’s “Ben” sung at you in middle school, a sappy song from a movie about a dang rat!
My cat is named Ben and I sing it to him.
He doesn’t know about the rat background lol
@@amyknarr2270 - I’ll never tell. ;) And of course now I think it’s a sweet song, though any tease you get as a kid feels like the sickest burn, so I also hated being called Benji like the little dog. Now I struggle to even see how that was an insult!
Aw!
@@amyknarr2270 - Rio was a name I would have loved to called my daughter, but unfortunately my husband and I (both huge Duran Duran fans) were never able to produce a daughter, we had 5 boys... All 5 are now also Duranies though!
I miss the 80s I 😢want to go back ..😢
And then the eighties were. Duran duran.
The first music VHS tape I bought back in 85. Still looks gorgeous. And John Taylor's bass line is still one of the best ever.
THE MOST AMAZING BASS LINE EVA!!
I agree with you
I remember watching this for the first time of top of the pops (16 years old) ...
Just glued to the tv. My Dad muttering under his breath about the noise 😮😂😂😂
Nick’s keyboard is amazing 🤩
In the early 80s bands like this and several others stood out with their sounds. John Taylor appeared with a notorious bass touch, and most of Duran-Duran's songs would be marked by that very good bass level! Besides the whole band, excellent.
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
I was a British tourist traveling across the U.S. in 1982. I heard this song on local radio as we were traveling across the Rio Grande. Doesn't get much sweeter than that.
You were experiencing what was called the Second British Invasion in the United States
The bass line is heaven
Literally the most unnoticed things if you hear it on the radio.
Hell yeah 😁😁😁😁
i feel sad for those who can't understand how amazing is this bassline
Get over yourself.
I like it, but it's really just a heavily Jaco-influenced 16th notes line with lots of chromatic runs. I am a bass player so I understand it pretty well
I love ❤️ this song.
Also it’s one of the best videos
from the 80’s. Can’t believe it was from 41 years ago. I was 15 when this song was on MTV and the radio every day.
Love Duran Duran,big part of my childhood in the early 80s❤❤❤
Saw them at Scotiabank Arena last Tuesday, amazing 👏
The opening 33 seconds are arguably the most exciting 33 seconds of any 80’s song
One of the best... What a bass line...
One of the top 5 best music videos of the 80s, imo.
2022 and this video is still so stunning. Such an amazing song. How could we not fall in love with them in 1983?
John Taylor the most underrated bass and most gorgeous man ever
I concur!😎
I'd have to agree!
He has me questioning my sexuality...
